- A new brief in the birthright citizenship case by Gerard Magliocca. This one points out the regulation of Roma people in England and the United States. It is a thin amicus brief, as it focuses on a narrow subject, but accurate. So, I don't have much to say. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...
- (As an aside, sort of jarring to see a brief use that word, rather than Roma. I’m not well-versed in the relevant politics, eg whether theres been an effort to reclaim the other word, etc., so I could be missing something….)
- There is a FN that says Roma is the modern term, but he’s using the other one for consistency between the brief and statements made by the 14A’s framers. I think it’s an attempt to focus on what the architects of the 14A said without causing confusion (or maybe an adverse reaction from justices).Feb 4, 2026 16:47
